<h2>Mishka's speed = 14 km/hr</h2><h2>Current speed = 2 km/hr</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of rowing be r and speed of current be c.

If he rows with the current, Mishka rows 48 km in 3 hours.

        Relative speed = r + c

        Distance = 48 km

        Time = 3 hours

        48 = 3 x ( r+c)

        r + c = 16 ---------------------------eqn 1

If he rows against the current, it takes 4 hours to travel the same distance.

        Relative speed = r - c

        Distance = 48 km

        Time = 4 hours

        48 = 4 x ( r - c)

        r - c = 12 ---------------------------eqn 2

eqn 1 + eqn 2

        2r = 28

          r = 14 km/hr

Substituting in eqn 1

         14 + c = 16

                c = 2 km/hr

Mishka's speed = 14 km/hr

Current speed = 2 km/hr

An ac unit uses 3500 watts or power. If it runs for 10 hours each day and the utility company charges $0.13 per kWh, how much do
Helga [31]

Cost = (3500 W)·(1 kw/1000 W)·(10 hrs/day)·(30 day/month)·($0.13/kw-hr)

Cost = (3500·1·10·30·0.13 / 1000)·(W·kW·hr·da·$ / W·da·month·kw·hr)

Cost = <em> 136.50  $/month</em>

About 57 people rent skates at the skating rink each day. It cost $4.25 to rent skates. About how much does the Rink make in ska
seraphim [82]

Answer:1695.75

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 7 days in a week. Since 57 people rent skates each day, we know that 57*7=399 skates are rented each week. Since one skate cost 4.25, we know that 399*4.25 is the cost, which is 1695.75. (If you are not allowed to use a calculator, you can do 400*4.25-4.25, to make it easier to compute)

The initial cost to drill a well is $210000. the daily rate to operate the well is $500. The current selling price is $65 per ba
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Hi there!

There is an initial cost of $210,000 (which you're just going to pay once)

Then it costs $500 per day to operate.

The number of days is represented by "x".


Your equation in function notation should look like this :

f(x) = 500x + 210,000


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
